What would you do if your instance gets defederated? (kbin.social)

I'm just curious, since I tend to get attached to my accounts but I also like having access to all information so I don't want to use a defederated instance. If, say, kbin got overrun by bad actors and was defederated by everyone else, is the only option to jump ship? Unfortunately I don't have the capability to selfhost or I would to avoid such problems.

What are your contingency plans if such a thing occurs?

My strategy has been to make multiple accounts on different instances, spread myself across different communities and not to put all my eggs into one basket or get attached to any one community.
